Sorry dont mean to be rude:

NA cars run with neg pressure in the plenum. This is what pulls a BOV open, therefore the BOV on a na car would be always open... This would be like punching a hole in your intake piping somewhere which would probably mess with your Air/fuel ratio's.

No performance gains to be made with this mod.

I am not 100% on the: "the BOV on a na car would be always open" call but i am pretty sure ;)

not quite right. the difference in pressure between the two side of the diaphragm or piston is what pushes the valve open. on the one side you have the boost in the intercooler pipe, on the other side you have the pressure from the manifold (post throttle) when you close the throttle pressure in the manifold drops but the pressure in the pipework is still high, the difference in pressure is great enough that boos pressure in the pipes is able to overcome the pressure of the spring.

I seen the thread name "B.o.v" in the NA!!! Section of the site & just had to look & hope somebody wasn’t asking how to fit one or asking if it provides any performance gains... and...

Would fitting a blow-off valve to a non-turbo skyline provide an benefits to the performance at all?

Plus would the car build up enough pressure to produce any decent sound?

;)!! Hahahaha

Think your gona need a turbo m8 if you want to run a BOV.

Pardon the ignorance here... I have a turbo car which has the factory BOV on it atm...

Can someone please explain the imporatance of an aftermarket BOV? What are the gains to be achieved? And is it really necessary (being illegal and all)?

Thank you

Stan

Aftermarket BOVs actually increase boost & raise torque... :D

hahah Nar aftermarket BOV are usually only bought because of the noise they make but they can also serve the purpose of venting a greater amount of air to keep ur turbo spinning better if you’re running higher boost. But there's always rally style anti lag systems which work better than that in conjunction with a BOV hehehe. BANG BANG POP

For your car & many of our cars, you'd really only get one for the noise / visual appearance in engine bay... Otherwise stocky is fine.

Thanks guys

Hey geno8r, when we going for that cruise? Or even just a general meet up?

Ahh man I forgot about that... I got busy again... had some extra work coming in so been occupied... If someone organises sometime I'll be there but yeah just haven’t had time to organise anything really... If you reply to this probably best not to ‘off topic’ anymore in this thread & reply back in the other one...

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
